Federal Ban on DEI Programs: Eliminating Diversity Offices and Mandatory Training.
This Act seeks to entirely eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, offices, and positions across the Federal Government, federal contractors, and grant recipients. Federal employees cannot be required to attend training asserting systemic superiority or inferiority based on race or sex. The legislation also grants citizens the right to sue federal entities for engaging in these newly prohibited DEI practices, providing a direct enforcement mechanism.
Key points
Mandatory closure of all DEI offices and termination of Chief Diversity Officer positions within federal agencies, leading to workforce reductions in these areas.
Prohibition on using federal funds for DEI training, critical race/gender theory, or programs asserting that any group is inherently privileged or oppressed.
Creation of a private cause of action allowing citizens to sue federal agencies or contractors for violations of the new anti-DEI rules, with potential for damages.
The changes extend to higher education accreditation standards and financial institutions (like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac), repealing existing diversity requirements and offices.
